It says a lot when Arafat is surrounded by the Israeli troops and confined to one room, and all Bush really says is how Arafat has not done enough. What Bush didn't say (Israel should pull back, etc.) speaks volumes - he has picked the right side and the right course.
In addition to harsh words for Arafat,
Bush insisted Israel must work to reduce the violence.Give me a _______ break Mr. President. Addressing Israel in this manner in light of the violence perpetrated against it is outrageous. It's an absolute insult to anyone's intelligence, including your own. Israel has shown extreme restraint up until now. Your dismissal of that fact offends me intensely.
